MECHA is a team of developers working at the frontier of blockchain and AI. We are expert Sui coders, amongst other things. We have recently completed the protocol for Starlite, the global channel system. In Starlite, channels are owned by wallets and subscribe to each other on-chain. There is no corporation that can access the channels, the audiences or the profits.
For teams building on Sui, Walrus and Shelby, talk to us about provisioning a unique set of channels for your project. Starlite solves onchain subscriptions for decentralized content.
